    Hi everyone, thanks for all of your valuable feedback on this idea. The number of detailed comments clearly show how important this feature is for many of you.

    We also agree that this would add significant value to Xero Expenses. That’s why we’re pleased to update the status of this idea to Accepted. This means we have reviewed your feedback and it aligns with our product vision.

    While it is a feature we’d like to build, it’s not currently on our roadmap, so we can't provide a delivery timeframe just yet. We will share another update on this thread as soon as we have more news.

  2. When I approve my own expense claims, don't generate a notification for me that my expense is approved. I already know because I just did it. It wastes my time and attention marking those notifications as read.

    Just a minor annoyance. But also a quick fix, I suspect.

    Hey team, we began releasing updates to expense notification which included the change mentioned in my last update here. However, with some of the other changes that were bundled with this one we quickly found that there were some customers receiving many more notifications than before.

    Unfortunately we've needed to turn this off and will look longer term and how we can develop controls for notification preferences.

    For the time being I'm going to move this back to Accepted and when we can bring more attention and resource to developing controls for notifications we'll share an update with you all.

  3. Many are complaining about no VAT option on mileage claims through expenses. I can see why this would be timely to implicate as the fuel element changes and is different depending on fuel type and engine size.

    But think for those that want to, we should at least have a VAT drop down. We could then create a new tax rate for each rate or even employee using expenses.

    For example I have a director with a vehicle >2000cc Diesel I believe using the HMRC company car fuel rates this equates to 19p inclusive of VAT. Using the 45p for…

    Hi everyone, thanks for your continued engagement with this idea. We know this has been a topic of conversation for a while, and we want you to know we've been listening about the challenges of claiming VAT on mileage in Xero Expenses.

    We appreciate everyone who's shared their workarounds, like splitting the mileage claim into two separate lines. While we know this isn't an ideal solution, it's great to see how you're helping each other out here.

    Your input is invaluable as we continue to evaluate the best way to address this. While we can't provide a specific timeline for a fix, please know that monitoring this is a priority for us. We'll be sure to keep you updated on any progress.

    Hi community, returning to share an update on the work we had done here - Though our product team started releasing updates to the notifications we quickly found that this meant some users began receiving a lot more notifications, and we've made the tough decision to switch these back off.

    In time our team would like to create controls so users can set notification preferences. However, this will require considerable work and not something we commit to right now.

    We're going to shift the idea back to Accepted and soon as we can pick this up again I'll make sure to share an update here.

  5. Ability to trigger notification when expense claims are awaiting approval and approved status.

    Purpose: So the approver can review the expenses faster and the one who’s asking for an approval don’t need to wait longer for approval.

    Hi team, we appreciate and thank everyone for feedback. While we began a roll-out for the notification changes mentioned in my last update, as shared in some of the recent comments this resulted in a fair amount of noise for some customers inbox.

    We've made the decision to turn off the recent notifications changes.

    We'd like to provide more controls around this so users can set a preference, however this does require a fair amount of work and not something we're able to do right now.

    Please know we have keen eyes on this idea and when we're in a position to progress this again I'll share news with you all here. Thanks

  6. Ability to create recurring expenses in expense claims area in Xero.

    Purpose: To save users’ time from entering their regular expenses in Xero manually.

    Hello everyone, thanks for the detail and support shared for this idea. We understand how recurring expenses would enable efficiency when you have frequent expenses of a similar nature (like subscriptions), so have moved the idea to Accepted.

    Currently there is work needed within expenses to enable us to develop this capability. Once we're in a better position to be able to dive deeper into this work, we'll review all of your suggestions and share any progress with you here.
